Engineers at PNNL devised a system that allows radar antennae to maintain stable orientation while mounted on platforms in open water that pitch and roll unpredictably. They were recently invited to participate in DOE's I-Corps program.

PNNL's accomplishments in FY 2024 help address the remaining challenges the wind industry faces.

PNNL is supporting the floating offshore wind industry to enable gigawatt-scale development of floating offshore wind in the United States while minimizing environmental impacts and supporting local workforces.

DOE announced a new project, led by PNNL and National Renewable Energy Laboratory, to expand wind energy transmission off the nation’s West Coast.

A research buoy managed by PNNL has been deployed in Hawai’ian waters, collecting oceanographic and meteorological measurements off the coast of O’ahu.

Multidisciplinary teams from research and industry are brought together using management systems developed by a team of software engineers at PNNL.
